Timewasters

I love an intelligent comedy, and this is one of the best! It takes a lot to make me laugh out loud this many times. It's original, with perfect comedic timing, and doesn't take itself too seriously despite the opportunities to call out prejudice. It's just fun and I love the characters are put into embarrassing and triumphant situations. Give it a try!

It's no future classic comedy but I'm surprised by some of the reviews calling it terrible and racist. It's amusing and has it's moments and because it deals with the issues of racism in the 1950's , this seems to be the reason people call it racism, there is no point whitewashing history but laughing at how ridicolous attitudes should never be considered racist but should be considered a look back in time. It's watchable and certainly something I would consider watching , it's not going to change the world but amusing comedy that deals with thorny issues should be encouraged.

I LOOOVVVEEE this show. It's well written and beautifully acted in a way that you don't see everyday here in the US where everything is either cookie cutter or trying too hard to be original. One thing I did notice was the close resemblance of the four characters to the lead characters of "what's happenin" The American sitcom from the 70s. They have a Raj, a Rerun, a Dwayne, and even a Dee. It's no copy though. The time travel angle and storylines are completely original. The show manages to handle race (and sexism) in yesteryear England with some honesty without sacrificing humor or becoming somber. It's absolutely worth a watch, but...no kids in the room and skip it if you're a Hallmark movie churchy type. Oh and don't listen to the grumblers. People like to forget that Black people existed before the Cosby show.

Just binge watched Timewasters on Freevee 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽, love everything about it!!! Now I'm sad to learn and trying to understand why it wasn't picked up for a 3rd season??!!

If I had the means I'd pick it up for the 3rd. Those of us here in the States would welcome this historical comedic twist and cast of characters 😂😅😂😅

I wish this show was my idea! The writing, premise and plot are fantastic. In some places, it may come across as thin on jokes, especially if you're used to U. S. sitcoms, but overall very good.
